Stuart practicing

The Monday morning optional practice is going on with a dozen Red Wings on the ice. Among them is defenseman Brad Stuart, who is passing and shooting the puck -- a good sign for a player with a broken finger. Stuart is slated to return for the first round of the playoffs, perhaps even as early as the post-season opener.Also on the ice is Tomas Holmstrom (abdominal strain). I'll try to get an update on his status after practice.
